The DKX — Wire Shell, X-Base

The Vitra Eames Wire Chair DKX pairs the iconic bent and welded steel wire shell with a four-legged tubular steel X-base — a more architectural silhouette than the rod base of the DKR, with the same graphic transparency and considered lightness. Chrome-plated or powder-coated in white or basic dark; the powder-coated versions are suitable for outdoor use on a temporary or seasonal basis.

Also available with a seat cushion (DKX-5) in fabric or leather.
